On February 9th, Mary, the actor who made his eighth appearance on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening, came to the interview room. She said that every time she comes to the Spring Festival Gala, like the exam, she is particularly nervous and under great pressure. When she has good works, she will be more confident in acting, but this year’s time is relatively hasty.

Mary said that it is actually more difficult for an actress to act in comedy than an actor, because she is not willing to "sell" or "play", but rather wants to start from the characters, so whether it is the structure or the character of the role, it is still more challenging to act.

Talking about the upcoming film Article 20, Mary said that he didn’t expect to cooperate with director Zhang Yimou one day. From the day he joined the group, he felt that everything was like a dream. Mary also said that Zhang Yimou’s state of filming on the spot, his unique ideas, his requirements for actors and his control of all the plays made him feel that the director is the most attractive and soul person in the crew and the soul of a movie. "I think the director is like a god to me."

Recalling that in 2023, Mary admitted that he was a model worker. Last year, there were 3 or 4 films and played some very powerful female roles. The creative process was happy, but it was also very painful. The result was very satisfactory for himself. I hope I can give myself a holiday in the new year.

Air-conditioning, watermelon, and WiFi are essential for summer homes.

Online classes, playing games and watching videos have become the daily life of friends.

Recently, there is a small partner private letter Xiaobian.

I found that my mobile phone traffic was "secretly running"

"The mobile phone is clearly connected to WiFi for 24 hours.

Why do you still generate traffic data? "

In order to protect the "money bag" of friends.

Xiaobian, this will reveal the secret for you.

Two misunderstandings

1. Some friends think that after the WiFi connection is successful, there is no need to turn off the data traffic. In fact, when the WiFi signal is unstable, it is still possible to consume traffic.

2. Some friends think that the mobile phone is still running traffic when connected to WiFi, which is either a problem with the mobile phone or a bug in the traffic. In fact, there is a problem with the mobile phone traffic settings.

1. When the WiFi is unstable or disconnected, the mobile phone may switch back to the 2G/3G/4G/5G network by default;

2. Some public WiFi has a time limit and will automatically switch back to the data network after the use time is over;

3. Due to the problem of mobile phone settings, WiFi； connection failed;

4. Some mobile phone systems will automatically switch to the data network when the WiFi connection signal is weak.

solution

1. Turn off the mobile data when connecting to the WiFi network.

2. Many smart phones will automatically open the data network when the WiFi signal is weak by default, so we’d better turn this function off.

Android system (take Huawei mobile phone as an example): Click "Settings-WLAN-WLAN+"to close it.

IOS system (for example, iOS9 and above): Click "Settings-Cellular Network-WLAN Assistant" to close it;

3. When the mobile phone is set to WLAN connection disconnection, it will prompt to use mobile data connection, such as Android system (taking Huawei mobile phone as an example), and click "Settings-Mobile Network-Mobile Data-Advanced-WLAN/Mobile Data Connection Switching Prompt-Prompt to Use Mobile Data Connection".

Today’s mobile phone traffic secrets are shared here!

Since March 2021, the influenza activity in southern and northern provinces has been higher than that in the same period in 2020, and since September, the level of influenza activity in southern provinces has shown an obvious upward trend. The risk of overlapping epidemic of COVID-19 epidemic and influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases still exists this winter and next spring. Recently, it coincided with a large-scale cooling in China, and the flu vaccine quickly "warmed up". However, how to choose a flu vaccine that suits you?

I. Types of domestic influenza vaccines

At present, there are trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3), tetravalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) and trivalent live attenuated vaccine (LAIV3) approved for marketing in China.

Among them, trivalent influenza vaccine is suitable for children and adults over 6 months, which can prevent influenza caused by two influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2) and one influenza B virus (Victoria).

Four-valent influenza vaccine has more protection against one type of influenza B virus (Yamagata) than three-valent influenza vaccine, but the current four-valent influenza vaccine in China needs to be over 3 years old to be vaccinated.

Second, the way of influenza vaccine administration

At present, there are two ways to administer influenza vaccine in China, one is traditional injection and the other is nasal spray.

Among them, the nasal spray method is unique to the nasal spray influenza vaccine, which was only listed in China in August 2020, but it is not the first in China. It has existed abroad for a long time (the United States and the European Union approved the use of nasal spray influenza vaccine in 2003 and 2012, and both of them are tetravalent), but the market share has not been high. This vaccination method can effectively avoid puncture and "needle fainting" caused by injection, but as for whether it can really make children not afraid of getting flu vaccine, it seems that it is not. Although it doesn’t seem to hurt, the nasal mucosa is also very sensitive, and the way of "nasal spray" is not necessarily more comfortable than intramuscular injection. It is difficult for children to ensure the accuracy of vaccination dose, and the technical operation requirements for vaccinators are relatively high.

Third, the safety of influenza vaccine

Influenza-like vaccines are all split or subunit, that is, inactivated vaccines. After years of practice, the safety of all kinds of inactivated vaccines is relatively high. Its contraindications are limited to allergies to vaccine ingredients, and there is no restriction on egg allergies. Even during pregnancy and some elderly people with basic diseases are recommended to be vaccinated.

Then let’s take a look at the new nasal spray influenza vaccine: this vaccine simulates the process of natural influenza infection. After the vaccine is atomized, it enters the body through the nasal cavity, and the first barrier is mucosal immunity, and then cellular immunity and humoral immunity are generated by activating lymphocytes. However, this means that the nasal spray vaccine must be an attenuated live vaccine. From the point of view of safety, attenuated live vaccine may expel vaccine virus strains after inoculation, and occasionally it is reported that the live virus discharged from the vaccinator is transmitted to the uninoculated. Therefore, it is not recommended to vaccinate children with severe immunocompromised patients with nasal spray influenza vaccine.

Relatively speaking, the live attenuated vaccine has more contraindications (rhinitis, asthma, immune problems, etc.), and the range of people who can be vaccinated is narrower. The vaccination age range of this vaccine is 3-17 years old, which directly avoids children under 3 years old and the elderly who may have basic diseases. Pregnancy is also a contraindication. Even people who have used anti-influenza drugs such as oseltamivir and zanamivir (or traditional Chinese medicine with antiviral components) 48 hours before vaccination are not recommended to be vaccinated with this nasal spray vaccine.

Some foreign researchers have summarized the cases of influenza still diagnosed after receiving nasal spray vaccine or attenuated live vaccine or inactivated vaccine for injection. Among 17,173 patients aged 2-17, 4,579 received inactivated vaccine by injection, 1,979 received nasal spray vaccine or live attenuated vaccine, and 10,615 were not vaccinated. It was found that the effectiveness of inactivated vaccine for injection against influenza A (H1N1) was 67%, and the effectiveness of nasal spray vaccine or attenuated live vaccine was 20%. Compared with the recipients of inactivated vaccine by injection, the probability of infection with influenza A (H1N1) is significantly higher among those vaccinated with nasal spray vaccine or live attenuated vaccine.

Fourth, the effectiveness of influenza vaccine

As far as the effectiveness of protection scope is concerned, the tetravalent influenza vaccine containing four influenza virus strains (two types A and two types B) is better than the trivalent influenza vaccine containing three influenza virus strains (two types A and one type B).

Based on five studies from 2013 to 2016, the effect of nasal spray vaccine or live attenuated vaccine on influenza A (H1N1) is lower than that of inactivated vaccine by injection in all children’s age groups. Therefore, the American ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice) did not recommend nasal spray influenza vaccine in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018.

A meta-study published online in Pediatrics in January 2019, entitled "Live Attenuated and In Activated Influenza Vaccination Effectiveness", recorded the reasons (and reviewed Meta) why AAP and CDC did not recommend nasal influenza vaccine in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

Please see the figure below for a detailed comparison list.

Finally, to sum up:Under the age of 3, there is no choice but to get trivalent flu vaccine. Above 3 years old, tetravalent vaccine is definitely the first choice in terms of protection effect. However, the price of trivalent vaccine is half cheaper than that of tetravalent vaccine (50 yuan VS110 yuan). If the money is not bad, then choose tetravalent vaccine. As for the nasal spray vaccine, if you are over 3 years old and under 17 years old, you happen to be "dizzy" or have extreme fear of injection, then it is much better to vaccinate the nasal spray vaccine than to do nothing.

North America is the largest film market in the world, and it is also the main battlefield to test the success or failure of a Hollywood film. Generally speaking, there are two institutions that regularly publish box office data of North American film market: the website Box Office Mojo mainly collects and counts the data reported by publishers themselves; Comscore, a media company specializing in collecting and analyzing all kinds of data, collects daily box office data from the cinema, which is also the main source of box office data for American media.

Traditionally, Comscore’s annual report will not be released until the first Tuesday of the new year, that is, January 2, 2024, local time in the United States, but it is said that the total box office in North America will basically fall between $9.03 billion and $9.05 billion in 2023. As for Box Office Mojo, because of the time difference, the North American box office figure in 2023 on this website is still at $8.905499 billion for the time being, but I believe it will be further updated in a few days.

"Baben Harmo"

Looking back on the key words of North American movies in 2023, the first one was "Baben Harmo": two commercial blockbusters with irrelevant contents and types collided head-on in the same schedule, and the result was not that they changed, but that they successfully ignited the audience’s enthusiasm together and became a phenomenal movie event in 2023. Barbie, produced by Warner Bros. Film Company, finally became the North American box office champion in 2023 with a score of $636 million, while Oppenheimer, produced by Universal Pictures, ranked fifth in the annual box office list in North America with $326 million.

The success of the two works has its own reasons, but to sum up, it is nothing more than abandoning the routine and highlighting the new ideas. Together with Universal Pictures’ Super Mario Bros. Movie, which ranked second in North America’s annual box office list with US$ 574 million, these three works can be said to have high original value.

Although Barbie comes from a world-famous popular toy, Super Mario Bros. Movie is based on a well-known video game of the same name, and the protagonist of Oppenheimer has already gone down in history because of the atomic bomb, they are not actually sequel to the movie or remakes of old movies, which can attract the audience to buy tickets and rely on real original stories and designs.

Stills of Super Mario Bros. Movie

In sharp contrast, in 2023, a lot of blockbusters failed at the box office, almost all sequels and series of works. In addition to the superhero movies that have completely tired the audience aesthetically, Raiders of the Lost Ark 5 and Mission Impossible 7 have also failed to achieve satisfactory box office results.

The total box office in North America in 2023 is definitely the highest in North America since the epidemic subverted the film industry, far better than the $7.46 billion in 2022 and $4.56 billion in 2021. However, such achievements have not returned to the level before the epidemic.

Historically, the box office in North America has steadily exceeded $10 billion every year since 2009, and since 2015, this figure has exceeded $11 billion every year. Before the epidemic, in 2019, although the box office performance of North American movies has been severely squeezed by the streaming media market, the box office of the whole year can still easily reach 11.4 billion US dollars.

On the surface, it seems that the main reason is that the number of films released by Hollywood studios is getting smaller and smaller every year: only 88 films were released on a large scale in 2023, while in 2019, the box office reached 10.5 billion US dollars, which was 108, a full 20 more. However, I really want to say, even if there are 20 more new films in 2023, will it be guaranteed that the box office will increase by 2 billion US dollars? Who can say that these 20 films will get an average of $100 million at the North American box office each?

Movies like Barbie and Oppenheimer can persuade people to pay for tickets because they can only appreciate the beauty of light and shadow when they are watched on the big screen, and the same is true for Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert, which became a dark horse at the box office near the end of the year. In 2023, when the streaming media service is becoming more and more mature (and saturated), how many movies must be experienced in the cinema in the eyes of the audience? Below, we will look at it according to the winners and losers list of the five major Hollywood manufacturers.

Universal Pictures International

Wins: Super Mario Bros. Movie ($575 million), Oppenheimer ($326 million), Five Nights of the Teddy Bear ($137 million) and Megan ($95 million).

Negative: Speed and Fury 10 ($146 million), Renfield ($17 million), Demeter’s Last Voyage ($13 million).

According to film companies, Universal Pictures, which won $1.93 billion in 2023, topped the North American box office list. With the blockbuster films such as Super Mario Bros. Movie and Oppenheimer, Universal has occupied about 22% of the box office share in North America, slightly overwhelming Disney and winning the first prize since 2015.

In 2023, Universal occupied two seats in the top five most popular films in North America. In addition, the innovative thriller Megan, which cost only $12 million, also earned nearly $100 million at the box office, while Five Nights of the Teddy Bear turned the cost of $20 million into a box office of $137 million, making them the two most cost-effective movies in 2023.

Of course, Universal also made some mistakes in 2023, and the tenth The Fast and the Furious series was exhausted, but the production cost was getting higher and higher, reaching a shocking $340 million, which erased a lot of the annual bonus of Universal.

In 2024, Kung fu panda 4’s "Daddy Thief 4" and other works will be listed around the world, and there is still a chance to win the championship again.

Disney

Wins: Galaxy Guard 3 ($359 million), The Little Mermaid ($297 million), Crazy Element City ($154 million).

Negative: Captain Surprise 2 ($84 million), Indiana Jones 5 ($174 million), Star Wish ($61 million), Haunted House ($68 million).

2023 is Disney’s centenary birthday, which should have been a year worth celebrating. Various commemorative movies, books and activities were also arranged in advance. However, the overall commercial achievements released at the end of the year made 2023 a year when Mickey Mouse fell to the altar.

Since the annual box office accounted for 26% in 2016, Disney has become the sole overlord of Hollywood in the past few years by relying on its fist products such as Marvel Comics and Pixar; The peak appeared in 2019, accounting for 33.3% of the box office. Seven of the top ten films in the world were produced by Disney, and the box office of each film exceeded $1 billion, leaving the other Hollywood giants completely behind.

However, with the arrival of COVID-19, everything came to an abrupt end. Three years after the epidemic, Disney’s box office share was only 11%, 20% and 18% respectively. However, at that time, Disney’s box office declined because of the external factors of closed cinemas and filming stoppage, which can be said to be a crime of no war. By the end of the epidemic in 2023, Disney’s box office still accounts for only 16%, so you can only find the reason from yourself.

The most serious problem is naturally the continuous downturn of the Marvel movie universe. From "Ant Man 3" at the beginning of the year to "Captain Surprise 2" at the end of the year, all of them lost their eye-catching characteristics in the past, and the latter even became the worst box office in the history of Marvel Comics movies, which made Disney CEO Bob Iger admit that at the previous stage, they really made a big mistake of focusing only on quantity and ignoring quality. At the same time, it also reminds opponents once again that there has never been any panacea in Hollywood, and the tastes of the audience are changing rapidly. Sitting on one’s laurels and standing still is doomed to die.

"Galaxy Guard 3" poster

On the whole, among the top ten box offices in North America, Disney still has the illusion that "Guards of the Galaxy 3" ranks fourth, "The Little Mermaid" ranks sixth and "Ant Man 3" ranks eighth, and there is still the illusion that "the skinny camel is bigger than the horse". However, excluding the special circumstances of the epidemic for three years, this has become the first year since 2014 that Disney has not had any film with a global box office exceeding the $1 billion mark.

Of course, Disney’s advantage is that it has acquired a large number of high-quality assets through mergers in the past few years. After being acquired by Disney, 20th Century Fox, which originally belonged to the ranks of the six Hollywood manufacturers, was renamed 20th Century Pictures, and its box office was also included in the Disney Group’s evaluation. In 2023, they released three works, Cabinet Devil, Venetian fright night and AI Creator. Together with the release of Avatar 2 in early 2023, they earned about $400 million in North American box office. Including this part, Disney accounted for about 21% of the annual box office in North America, ranking second.

Warner Bros.

Wins: Barbie ($636 million), Nun 2 ($86 million), Meg 2 ($82 million), Wonka ($143 million).

Negative: The Flash ($108 million), The Blue Beetle ($72 million), Shazam 2 ($57 million), Aquaman 2 ($85 million).

With Barbie, the highest box office in North America in 2023 (the film also won the annual global box office champion with a box office score of $1.44 billion), Warner failed to become the North American box office champion in 2023, ranking third with only $1.4 billion and a share of about 15.24%. I am afraid that the reason can only be attributed to the poor box office performance of DC superheroes.

"Barbie" stills

In addition to Barbie, in 2023, Warner also tasted a lot of sweetness in the horror film Sister 2 and the family movie Wonka. However, they invested about $660 million in the production cost of the four DC films, The Flash, The Blue Beetle, Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2. As a result, the global box office revenue of the four films was less than that of the 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($874 million).

In 2024, Warner will publish Dune 2, Godzilla vs. king kong 2, Clown 2 and other works, which hopefully will lead to a comeback.

Sony pictures

Wins: Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe (US$ 381 million) and The Wronger 3 (US$ 92 million).

Negative: Silly Money ($13 million) and Escape from Cretaceous ($32 million).

In 2020, when the world was in chaos, Sony Pictures once became the biggest winner in the North American film market, gaining more than 20% market share. After that, in 2021, they also continued to be in the forefront. However, in 2022, when everything is slightly back on track, Sony’s market share has retreated to the fifth place. In 2023, the situation is slightly better than that of Paramount, which is at the bottom. The annual box office of less than $1 billion accounts for about 11% of the market.

Stills of Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe

During the three years of the epidemic, Sony released about 16 or 17 works every year, and in 2023, it rose to 27, far more than any other Hollywood factory, and basically recovered to the level before the epidemic.

The animated film Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe, which was released in June, is a rare Marvel Comics movie that sold well at the box office in 2023. The global box office of "Grievance 3" also reached $190 million, almost the same as the first two films, showing the high popularity of Denzel Hayes Washington Jr.. As for "Napoleon" released at the end of the year, it is not a box office success in itself. After all, the production cost of the film is as high as 200 million US dollars. However, this huge sum of money basically comes from Apple with deep pockets, and Sony is only responsible for issuing, and the package will not be compensated.

In 2024, as usual, Sony will have a wave of new films such as Ghostbusters: The Frozen City, Garfield, Mrs. Spider: Super Awakening, Kraven the Hunter, Venom 3, etc., and the box office should make a breakthrough.

Paramount

Wins: Scream 6 ($108 million), Wang Wang Team 2 ($65 million), Teenage Ninja Turtles: Mutant Fight ($118 million).

Negative: Mission Impossible 7 ($172 million) and Dungeons and Dragons: The Glory of Grand Theft Auto ($93 million).

2023 is really a year to break the Hollywood convention. Not only has the invincible superhero movies been beaten, but even Tom Cruise, which has always been a box office guarantee, has experienced the existential crisis of Lian Po’s old age.

Before the release of "Mission Impossible 7", almost everyone expected that it would be Tom Cruise’s second successful summer file after "Top Gun 2". As a result, "Mission Impossible 7" failed to ignite the enthusiasm of North American people for watching movies on the first weekend, and was quickly defeated by Barbie and Oppenheimer. The most deadly thing is that the epidemic pushed the production cost of the film up to an astonishing $291 million, which caused it to bear an excessive burden before it was released.

The box office failure of Dungeons and Dragons was also somewhat unexpected. After all, the film was adapted from a powerful game IP, and the audience’s reputation after the screening was very good, but perhaps because of the schedule, there was still a lack of enough audience to join in, which made this $150 million film unable to break even.

In the whole year, Paramount released a total of 10 films, with a box office of just over $800 million, accounting for about 9.6% of the total box office in North America, ranking fifth, far below the market share of 17.6% in 2022 with the blessing of Top Gun 2.

In 2024, Paramount will release some blockbuster new films, such as Gladiator 2, Transformers: The First Generation and Sonik the Hedgehog 3, which is expected to turn the tide.

Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert Poster

In addition to the above-mentioned five Hollywood giants, Lionsgate Pictures, which took 6.55% of the market share, ranked sixth in the annual box office in North America. They released 12 films in the whole year, and "Fast Chasing 4" ranked ninth in the annual single box office in North America with $187 million. Further back, the independent film "Voice of Freedom", which is not unusual in shooting, distribution and publicity, won $184 million at the box office, which just squeezed into the tenth place in the annual single-chip box office list in North America.

Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert, with the same maverick distribution model, earned $179 million at the box office, ranking 11th in the annual single-chip box office list in North America. Independent films like this broke into the top of the annual box office list for more than ten years, which seems to reflect the coming of the unprecedented changes in Hollywood in N years.

1905 movie network news The Spring Festival animated film will be officially released on the first day of the Year of the Tiger. On January 4th, the film released a special video of "Tiger Tiger Born Wind" to reveal the film creation process.

"The Great Hero of Xiaohudun" tells the story of Xiaohudun’s adventurous growth in pursuit of the dream of an escort in his heart. The newly released special video "Tiger" is full of flavor, and Xiao Hudun, wearing a tiger’s head hat, expounds the creative process. Although the main creative team of the film is not necessarily the best in the industry in terms of number of people and equipment, its attitude of cultivating animation talents in China and creating fine animation in China is firm.

In addition, exaggerated brainwashing explanations such as "A masterpiece was produced only in one hundred million years" are full of joy and magic, and Xiaohudun also made a fuss at the end of the video, saying "I don’t want to bite you", which makes people smile, and it is more like making a promise of "watching the Tiger Pier in the Year of the Tiger".

The creative team behind "Little Tiger Pier Hero" is determined to create an original national IP and make China’s animated image famous in the world. Little Tiger Pier, which is popular in short videos, comics, theme parks, derivatives and movies, is one of the representatives.

It is reported that when the main creator created the image of the Tiger Pier, he closely followed the words "Meng, Meng, Meng and Meng". "Meng" refers to Xiao Hudun’s personality is a bit stupid, and occasionally he will do ridiculous stupid things. "Meng" means cute and super cute. "Fierce" means that Xiaohudun is brave and courageous, with a fearless momentum. "Dream" is his dream of becoming an escort and returning his parents as soon as possible. Nowadays, Xiaohudun, which has tens of millions of fans on the whole network, is about to make its debut on the big screen. I believe that the cute image of Xiaohudun will be more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts when the Year of the Tiger comes, adding a little joy and celebration to the Spring Festival.

　　Our reporter Gu Mengxuan Xia Xin reports from Guangzhou and Beijing.　

　　Recently, the international gold price hit a record high and was quickly sold off, causing a sharp drop. The price of gold denominated in RMB has also fluctuated greatly, which has aroused widespread concern in the market.　

　　On December 4th, the price of gold futures in new york market once rushed to the $2,150 mark per ounce, with an intraday increase of over 3%, setting a record high. Subsequently, the price of gold quickly fell back, and as of the 7 th, the cumulative correction per ounce exceeded $100.　

　　Affected by this, the gold Au99.99 listed on the Shanghai Gold Exchange fell back after it surged to 487 yuan per gram on the 4th, and the retail price of some domestic brands of gold jewelry stood at the high level of 630 yuan per gram and then fell back to about 615 yuan per gram on the 7th.　

　　According to Wind data, on December 15th, the New York Mercantile Exchange gold futures price was reported at 2018.3 USD/oz; As of press time, the gold Au99.99 listed on the Shanghai Gold Exchange is 472.99 yuan per gram.　

　　Welcome to a loose inflection point　

　　Regarding the correction of gold price, Wang Xiang, fund manager of Bosera Fund Index and Quantitative Investment Department, pointed out that the Fed’s interest rate hike cycle tends to end, which will usher in a loose turning point. Gold benefits from the downward logic of liquidity easing and real interest rate. Historically, similar policy nodes have strong price support power. However, there is a profit-taking impulse near the historical high point, and the net long position of short-term COMEX futures fund is too fast, so there is a need for adjustment.　

　　At 3: 00 am on December 14th, Beijing time, the Federal Reserve issued the statement of the FOMC meeting in December 2023 (the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates), and once again announced the suspension of interest rate hikes.　

　　According to the data provided by Bosera Fund, inflation expectations in the United States have dropped significantly. In December, the consumer confidence index of the University of Michigan rose to 69.4, with an expectation of 62. The inflation expectation dropped significantly, with the one-year inflation expectation dropping from 4.5% to 3.1% and the five-to ten-year inflation expectation dropping from 3.2% to 2.8%. "This combination is not good for precious metals." Wang Xiang said.　

　　As for the rise in the price of gold in the early stage, Bi Mengyu, an investment researcher at Geshang Caifu Jinyu, pointed out that gold, as a non-interest-bearing physical asset, often ushered in rising opportunities when other assets had poor returns.　

　　First of all, from an economic point of view, the global economy is currently in recession. In view of the worries about the economic downturn and the stock market decline, driven by risk aversion, investors are more willing to buy gold to avoid risks, leading to the rise of gold prices. In November, the global manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) was 49.3, the US manufacturing PMI was 46.7, and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI was 44.3, all of which were below threshold, reflecting the overall global economic downturn.　

　　Secondly, last week, the ADP data in the United States (an economic indicator commonly used to measure the job market) failed to meet expectations. The market speculated that the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates in December, that is, the nominal interest rate showed a downward trend with a high probability, which made the price of gold rise again.　

　　Finally, global central banks continue to purchase gold, and the demand for gold purchase by global central banks will remain strong in 2023, which supports the upward trend of the overall price of gold.　

　　"The adjustment of gold this week was mainly due to the rising interest rate of the US dollar index and US debt after the US non-farm payrolls data exceeded expectations, and coupled with the’ hawkish’ signal released by the Federal Reserve Chairman, the price of gold fluctuated downward." Bi Mengyu said.　

　　The annualized compound yield of gold is 7%　

　　The reporter noted that in August this year, the trend of domestic and international gold prices deviated greatly. In recent months, has the excessive price difference between the internal and external markets of gold prices been corrected?　

　　Wang Xiang pointed out that in September this year, the price difference between domestic and foreign countries was the highest, 30 yuan+/gram, and at present, the price difference has largely converged to 7 yuan/gram, but it is still far from the historical 95% confidence fluctuation range of 1.2~1.8 yuan/gram. In the process of convergence, the performance of domestic gold price will be worse than that of dollar gold.　

　　Bi Mengxuan pointed out that the international gold price and the domestic gold price are basically in a positive correlation, but due to the influence of pricing system, rate and time lag, they may deviate in the short term, and the domestic gold price fluctuation is often lagging behind. After several months of adjustment, the international and domestic gold prices have basically converged.　

　　Central banks around the world have also shown sustained enthusiasm for buying gold. According to the data of the World Gold Council, in 2023, the global central bank’s demand for gold purchases remained strong, reaching 387 tons in the first half of the year, a record high in the same period; In the first three quarters, the amount of gold purchased reached a record 800 tons, a year-on-year increase of 14%. At the same time, the data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange showed that at the end of November, the gold of the Bank of China had increased for the 13th consecutive month.　

　　In this regard, Bi Mengyu pointed out that the central bank’s allocation of gold mainly considers security, liquidity and return. First of all, gold is regarded as a safe asset and a value-preserving asset by the central bank, because it is more stable in the face of credit risks than other assets such as national debt; Secondly, gold has strong liquidity, and the central bank can quickly enter the market without distorting the price; Finally, although the return is not the main motivation for the central bank to buy gold, the annualized compound rate of return of gold has been around 7% in the past few decades, providing investors with relatively considerable returns.　

　　"The proportion of gold in China’s foreign exchange reserves is still low. Although it has been continuously increased, the current proportion is still less than 6%, which is still far from the proportion of more than 40% in European and American countries." Wang Xiang said that increasing the proportion of gold in foreign exchange reserves will help to diversify the reserve structure and maintain the stability of local currency and asset prices during the contraction cycle of the US dollar.　

　　Rational investment by investors　

　　Regarding the future market of gold assets, Nuoan Fund pointed out that due to the issuance of bonds by the US Treasury, the reduction of US debt holdings by the Federal Reserve and the current strong economic expectations, it is expected that the long-term yield of US debt will remain high, and short-term gold will still be suppressed by interest rates and the US dollar index. However, we expect that the signs of economic slowdown in the United States may be more obvious in the first half of 2024, and high interest rates and recent geopolitical risks may increase the volatility of financial markets compared with the previous period. The logic of gold investment gradually shifts from short-term safe-haven demand to medium-and long-term Fed interest rate cuts. Recently, the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates, which has significantly boosted the price of gold, or it is expected to change more by pricing. It is suggested that investors should actively pay attention to the trend of gold price and consider the proportion of gold allocation to grasp the investment opportunity of gold.　

　　Wang Xiang said that whether inflation converges smoothly, leading European and American monetary policies to shift to liquidity logic, or inflation rises again due to unexpected events, taking stagflation logic, different macro paths are beneficial to the gold margin, making it still one of the assets with high certainty, and the only difference is the difference in odds. Next year is an election year for many economies, and the intensity of geo-game may remain at a high level, which is also conducive to the rise of the price center. The upward target of USD gold is USD 2,200 ~ 2,400, which is about 515~550 yuan/g in China.　

　　"It is normal for the regional fluctuation of gold prices to increase near historical highs. Investors should neither be overly enthusiastic in the overbought state of the market, nor completely lose confidence after their breakthrough failure." Wang Xiang pointed out that in the medium and long term, the easing of the Federal Reserve and the weakening of the US dollar will remain a high probability path next year. With many economies entering the election year, the intensity of geo-game will remain at a high level. After the short-term selling sentiment is released, gold will return to its long-term upward path again.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" is involved in gambling recruitment information.

With "spinach" and "Xiaobai" as code words, Baidu’s post bars are accused of spreading overseas casino recruitment information, recruiting casino promoters, and tricking Chinese people into participating in online gambling in Cambodia and other countries.

A few days ago, some netizens reported to www.thepaper.cn/consumersComplaint.jsp, a complaint platform of The Paper Quality Report, that there were a lot of casino recruitment information in the "Cambodian Bar" of Baidu Post Bar.

According to the investigation in www.thepaper.cn, The Paper, there are a lot of gambling information in Baidu Post Bar, such as Phnom Penh Bar, West Port Bar and Work Bar in Cambodia, with the code words of "recruit push, white", "new handicap, interested private chat", "coordinate west port and Bobei".

The Paper reporters made unannounced visits as applicants. Some posters claiming to work in Cambodian gambling companies said that the personnel they recruited in Baidu Post Bar were mainly engaged in "promotion" work, that is, chatting online, mostly in the name of talking about male and female friends, to trick domestic people into participating in online gambling.

"The more he (the gambler) recharges, the higher your commission. If this thing doesn’t win, it will only lose. If you come, you will be trapped." The poster said.

On the afternoon of May 10th, a staff member of Baidu’s docking domestic media told The Paper that he needed to give feedback to the relevant departments about posting gambling information on the Post Bar, and make a clear investigation before replying.

Before the press release, The Paper checked Baidu’s "Cambodian Bar" again, and there were still a large number of recruitment information released by gaming companies; Baidu has not yet responded to this.

Xing Xin, a lawyer, believes that Baidu Post Bar, as a network operator, should immediately stop transmitting such information, prevent information from spreading, and keep records and report to the relevant authorities.

In addition, lawyer Lou Jing said that if Chinese citizens gather to gamble and open casinos in the surrounding areas outside our country to attract domestic citizens as the main source of tourists, which constitutes a crime of gambling, they can be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" is involved in gambling recruitment information.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" has become the hardest hit area of "spinach"

On May 8, a netizen in Guangdong reported to The Paper that Baidu’s "Cambodia Bar" published a large number of recruitment information of gaming companies, and this kind of recruitment lured Chinese personnel to Cambodia to engage in gambling-related work by means of "selling heads and getting commissions".

The netizen reported that most of the gambling companies in Cambodia are run by Chinese, and he is currently detained by the company and cannot return to China. However, The Paper contacted the netizen many times, and his phone has been unable to get through.

The Paper noted that Baidu’s "Cambodia Bar" has more than 280,000 followers, and at present there are more than 4 million posts in the post bar. Most of the published contents are "A large number of recruitment and promotion", "Welcome to consult, solve all problems and concerns for all of you, and hope to help all of you who come to Cambodia", "Coordinate Westport, which is developing into a big company, and welcomes all kinds of suspected gambling recruitment information such as Xiaobai and job-hopping personnel".

At the same time, in this post bar, posters often use argots such as "spinach" to replace words such as "gambling". A similar situation exists in Baidu Post Bar, such as Phnom Penh Bar in Cambodia, West Port Bar in Cambodia and Work Bar in Cambodia.

The ID address of the poster in the post bar involved shows that most of them come from domestic provinces and cities. Some posters claim that they are already employees of Cambodian gaming companies. They mainly publish content including recruitment information and working experience in Cambodia.

On May 9th, The Paper released job information as a "job seeker", and received nearly 100 replies in one day, mainly including "Add me to know", "How to contact you", "Group mode, resources provided by the company" and so on.

Through the micro-signal left in the post, a self-proclaimed "Baisha" who works for a gaming company in Cambodia told The Paper that his company holds a legal gaming license from the local government in Cambodia, and the gaming games are all lottery tickets that can be seen in China, such as "Fucai 3D, 11-choice 5, Chongqing Time Lottery", and players can make bets through the website platform.

According to the company recruitment brochure provided by Baisha, the company is now recruiting a large number of talents who can "skillfully operate computers and type more than 45 words per minute" in front desk, online customer service, promotion, personnel and other positions, with the basic salary and job requirements of each position.

In the next few days, according to posters such as "Baisha", in fact, they released such recruitment information, mainly by recruiting "promoters" to lure Chinese people to participate in online gambling in Cambodia. The more gamblers lose, the higher the commission of promoters.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" is involved in gambling recruitment information.

"Promoters" lure people to gamble in the name of talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.

Another poster, "Meng Jie", also claimed to work for a gaming company in the western port area of Cambodia. He told The Paper that his main job is to "attract people and recruit people", and other positions in the company, such as "promotion", "just sit there and chat every day and fool others into gambling".

According to Meng Jie, the objects of "fudge" are divided into two categories. One is that Cambodian gambling companies directly give employees "resources". These "resources" are generally domestic gambling addicts; "Resources" means that gambling companies spend money to buy information from China and then "wash it out".

For some gambling companies without "resources", "promoters" are needed to attract people.

"To put it bluntly, the girl just wants to fool the man. You are his girlfriend, so that he is willing to register with us and gamble. The more he recharges, the higher your commission. If you don’t win this thing, you will only lose." Meng Jie said.

"Male promotion" usually pretends to be a woman to "attract people" and "entice people by sending some messages, and finally make them willing to gamble." Meng Jie said that these gambling companies in Cambodia all require employees not to participate in gambling, and once they are found, they will be fired.

Meng Jie said that he worked in a gambling company in Cambodia for half a year and pulled more than 30 people from China. Usually, the recruitment information is mainly posted on the Internet. The air tickets and accommodation expenses of candidates are paid by Cambodian gaming companies, and there are also special people to pick them up after arriving in Cambodia.

However, as soon as new applicants arrive in Cambodia, their passports will be taken away. "Because the company is afraid that you won’t be able to do it for a long time, the air tickets and accommodation fees paid in the early stage hit Shui Piao."

Bai Sha said that three months ago, he saw the recruitment information in Baidu Cambodia Bar. Because he "had debts at home, there was no way to decide to go to Cambodia". He said that he was caught in a trap. "Work is not as good as expected. You are caught in a trap. People who come to work here are forced to do it. Most of them are Chinese. After all, the boss is also Chinese, doing domestic business."

Baisha said that there are many small companies under his gaming company group, and a small company is called a handicap. There are more than a dozen handicaps under the group. There are 200 to 300 people in his handicap, and the employees are basically Chinese. Now the group’s handicap is still expanding, and they need to recruit a large number of people from China for the company.

Lawyer: Opening a casino abroad to attract Chinese citizens also constitutes a gambling crime.

On the afternoon of May 10th, a staff member of Baidu Company docking domestic media told The Paper that it was not clear about the gambling recruitment posted by Post Bar, and he needed to give feedback to relevant departments first, and then reply after investigation.

The Paper learned that opening a casino in Cambodia requires an application from the local government, and only after obtaining a business license issued by the Cambodian government can the casino legally exist.

Xing Xin, a lawyer of Hunan Jinzhou Law Firm, believes that according to the relevant provisions of China’s Cyber Security Law, Baidu Post Bar, as a network operator, should strengthen the management of information released by its users. If it finds information prohibited by laws and administrative regulations from being released or transmitted, it should immediately stop transmitting the information, take measures such as elimination, prevent information from spreading, save relevant records, and report to the relevant competent authorities.

In addition, regarding the casinos opened by Chinese people in Cambodia, Xing Xin believes that according to the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling Gambling Criminal Cases, if Chinese citizens gather to gamble and open casinos in the surrounding areas outside our country in order to attract Chinese citizens as the main source of tourists, which constitutes a gambling crime, they can be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law and be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention control or fines.

Lou Jing, a lawyer of Beijing Yingke Law Firm, said that such casinos were set up abroad to avoid the criminal accountability of China public security organs and the application of China’s criminal laws, but China citizens can still commit crimes if they commit acts prohibited by China’s criminal law abroad.

Lou Jing believes that according to the first paragraph of Article 7 of the Criminal Law, "People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens who commit crimes stipulated in this law outside the territory of People’s Republic of China (PRC) shall be subject to this law, but if the maximum penalty stipulated in this law is fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, they may not be investigated."

Lou Jing said that if most of the gamblers who bet on the websites of Cambodian gambling companies are Chinese, and the settlement and circulation of gambling funds also occur in China, and some criminal acts are committed in China, they can be regarded as criminal acts according to China’s criminal law.

On the afternoon of May 15th, The Paper browsed the Baidu Post Bar again and found that there were still a lot of gambling-related recruitment information. Before the deadline for publication, The Paper repeatedly called the switchboard of Baidu Company, but the line was busy. Baidu has not yet responded to this.

Case: Opening a casino overseas to attract Chinese people to gamble was sentenced to three years and six months.

On May 15th, The Paper searched the non-litigation network with the keywords of "opening a casino overseas" and "online gambling", and found that there were five related criminal proceedings, including four judgments in the first instance and one ruling in the second instance.

In the five judgments, all the defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one year to three years and six months, and fined a certain amount for opening a casino abroad for the purpose of making profits, soliciting and organizing China citizens to the scene or conducting online gambling.

A judgment of the People’s Court of pinghu city, Zhejiang Province on September 19, 2018 shows that the defendant Liu and others organized domestic people to gamble abroad and settle their gambling funds in China by opening casinos in Laos and other places, or used the Internet and mobile communication terminals to transmit gambling videos and data and organize gambling activities. The accumulated gambling funds were more than 67 million yuan, which is a serious case. His behavior has constituted the crime of opening casinos. The court of first instance made a ruling after trial and sentenced Liu to three years in prison.

In addition, a judgment of the People’s Court of Taoshan District, qitaihe city, Heilongjiang Province on December 29, 2016 also shows that when the public security organs investigated the Maizayang Maida Company in Myanmar in handling the mega-cross-border online gambling case, they found that Chen Mou and Liang Moumou from Maoming, Guangdong Province had successively opened new Asian and new international casinos in Maizayang, Myanmar.

After trial, the court held that the defendant Liu and others opened casinos abroad mainly to attract People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens as the main customers, and used the Internet and mobile communication terminals to transmit gambling videos, organized domestic citizens to make dividends in online gambling casinos or serve as managers, or helped casinos collect and turnover gambling funds, or accepted bets from mainly domestic gamblers to earn illegal profits.

The Taoshan District Court of qitaihe city made a ruling in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law. The defendants Chen Mou, Liang Moumou and Liu Moumou were convicted of opening a casino, sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years to one year, and fined RMB 100,000 to 3 million, with suspended execution.
